1.4 BATTERY MAINTENANCE Faulty batteries may cause many other faults in the Breeze. Although the user should provide regular care of the batteries (recharging and filling water on wet batteries only), this is insufficient to handle all problems which may arise. A technician should perform battery density tests and load tests after recharging batteries.

Replace gray cover and seat. Note: Acid concentration and water level in battery chambers should be performed whenever Breeze is brought for a maintenance operation. Battery Load Test This test should be performed after fully recharging batteries and a short travel.
1.5 BASIC CLEANING OF THE BREEZE (only when basic cleaning is required) Only use a cloth, soap and water to clean the Breeze. Never spray a stream of water or steam directly on the BREEZE and it’s systems . Preparations o Remove the seat and gray cover o Disconnect and remove the batteries from the Breeze.

CHAPTER 4 - EMI WARNING All types of electrically powered vehicles, such as powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text all types will be referred to as “powered vehicles”) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is interfering electromagnetic energy (EMI) emitted from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios and cellular phones.
Page 26
Powered Vehicle Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna, the EM field from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy close to the powered vehicle’s control system while using these devices.
